Project Plan For Koneki, version 0.8

Introduction

The Koneki project delivers tools to facilitate the development of Machine-to-Machine solutions. The 0.8 release focuses on the following tools:
  • LDT (Lua Development Tools) – Lua is a lightweight scripting language usually used to develop mobile and M2M solutions. Koneki will provide a set of plug-ins allowing to write and debug Lua code.
  • OMA-DM client and simulator – OMA Device Management is an XML-based protocol used to manage mobile devices. Koneki will provide an OMA-DM client and an interactive simulator allowing to synchronize the nodes and values of a local management tree with a remote OMA-DM server.
  • M2MIWG application model tooling – The Eclipse M2M Industry Working Group will define a model of an M2M application. Koneki will provide an editor of this model, as well as a tool allowing to create a new OMA-DM simulation scenario for a given M2M application model.

Release Deliverables

The deliverables of Koneki are:
  • Lua Development Tools
  • OMA-DM client
  • OMA-DM simulator
  • Editor for an M2M application model (defined by the M2M Industry Working Group)

Themes and Priorities

This will be our first release. Therefore, we defined the following themes and priorities for working towards our 0.8 release.

Lua tooling

In addition to what was already part of the project initial contribution, the following items will be addressed:

  • Committed

    • [plan][debugger] Support debugging on Lua 5.2 [375622] (target milestone: 1.0 M1)
    • [plan] Provide User Documentation [366641] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] Provide a debugger for remote Lua applications [366642] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] Provide a code formatter [366643] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] User assistance for API [370583] (target milestone: 0.8 RC1)
    • [plan][ast] Use heuristics to extract more information from code [381671] (target milestone: 1.0 M1)
  • Deferred

M2M protocols tooling

Koneki is working closely with the Paho project to establish cooperation between the two projects, and will probably provide tooling for MQTT in later releases. In the mean time, for this 0.8 release, the priorities are put on the following items:

  • Committed

    • [plan] [omadm] Provide an OMA-DM client [366690] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] [omadm] Provide an OMA-DM simulation model [366693] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] [omadm] Provide an OMA-DM simulation editor [366695] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
    • [plan] [omadm] Provide User Documentation [370695] (target milestone: 0.8 M1)
  • Deferred

M2M Industry Working Group technologies implementation

This release of Koneki will provide a first version of tools dedicated to the manipulation of the M2M application model defined by the M2M Industry Working Group.

  • Committed

    • [plan] First version of an M2M application model [367349] (target milestone: 0.8 M2)
    • [plan] Editor of an M2M application model [367350] (target milestone: 0.8 M2)
  • Deferred

Eclipse quality API

While this is an incubation release, project team is committed to provide Eclipse quality API.

Support for Eclipse 3.8 workbench
